Heaven Salad

This is probably the strangest salad I’ve ever eaten, but probably one of the tastier ones! The variety of ingredients is a little crazy, but the taste is, well, Heavenly! This recipe comes from Norma Jean MacPhee’s family. (A great friend who I met through Camp Goodtime)

ingredients

1 Cup Lentils
2 Cups Water
1 Cup Dry Bulgar Wheat
1 C Boiling Water
14 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
2 Medium Cloves Garlic, crushed (more if you like)
1 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Oregano
2 TBSP fresh, minced dill
Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup packed minced Parsley
1/3 Cup minced Red Onion
1 Small Bell Pepper, diced (color is your choice)
1/2 Stalk, Celery, minced
1/2 Cup Feta, crumbled
1 Medium Tomato, diced

directions

1
Place Lentils in medium saucepan, cover with water and bring just to a boil. Turn heat way down, partially cover and allow to simmer without agitation for 20- 25 minutes or until tender, but not mushy. Drain well, and transfer to large bowl.
2
While lentils are cooking, place bulgar in a small bowl, add boiling water and cover with plate/ lid. Let stand 10- 15 minutes. Bulgar will have absorbed the liquid. Let cool.
3
Add all remaining ingredients to the lentils, stirring well, but gently. Add tomatoes just at end before serving.
4
Cover tightly and refrigerate for atleast an hour before serving, preferably 2-3.
